Faith of Our Fathers
Frederick W. Faber. Ad. by J. G. Walton
- Faith of our fathers! living still
- In spite of dungeon, fire, and sword:
- O how our hearts beat high with joy
- Whene’er we hear that glorious word!
- Faith of our fathers! holy faith!
- We will be true to thee till death!
- Our fathers, chained in prisons dark,
- Were still in heart and conscience free:
- How sweet would be their children’s fate,
- If they, like them, could die for thee!
- Faith of our fathers! holy faith!
- We will be true to thee till death!
- Faith of our fathers! we will love
- Both friend and foe in all our strife:
- And preach thee, too, as love knows how,
- By kindly words and virtuous life:
- Faith of our fathers! holy faith!
- We will be true to thee till death!
